Honestly, when I heard today’s guest leads a band named “Zeta
Wave,” I was really hoping I’d like her music because I already
liked her name,

ALIYA HASHEMI podcast excerpt:
"There's something amazing about taking something that comes from
your head and turning it into this big final
song."

Was she a fan of ‘60s legend Wavy Gravy or the 1970s Miami radio
station Zeta-4? Well, the good news is that Zeta Wave’s music –
singer-songwriter Aliya Hashemi calls it “bedroom dance pop” – is
just as cool and curious as the band’s name. So I extended an
invitation for her to join us and talk a little about herself and
introduce us to her music. In a few minutes she will be performing
two songs from her brand new EP, Over. In an Iggy Azalea
world, "Aliya Hashemi" actually sounds beautiful and mysterious all
on its own. “Zeta Wave” is just a bonus.

ALIYA HASHEMI podcast excerpt:
"Things fell into place in 24 hours for me to come to LA (from
Seattle). I called my parents and said, 'I'm moving to LA at the
end of the month!' There was, like, silence. I got rid of all my
things except for what would fit in my car and I drove down by
myself."

On the other hand, she grew up in Seattle before relocating to
Los Angeles to pursue a music career. So who knows what sounds best
in that town?
